TBF Big King Media is a powerful WordPress Multisite shared media library plugin that lets administrators and users browse, search, insert, and manage media from across an entire multisite network through one unified interface.
If you need a shared media library for WordPress Multisite, a network media library, or a way to use one media library across multiple WordPress subsites, this plugin is built for that exact purpose.
Instead of copying physical files between subsites, TBF Big King Media uses a lightweight zero-duplication proxy system that preserves storage, reduces inode waste, and keeps your network media workflow efficient.
It also includes Photofall, a high-performance Pinterest-style masonry gallery for displaying images, video, and audio across your WordPress network.

Display your network media in a fast Pinterest-style gallery with live search, filtering, sorting, and responsive layout support. -

Built for Large Networks
Chunked indexing and AJAX-powered loading help the plugin scale safely across large WordPress multisite environments.
Why use this plugin?
Many WordPress multisite administrators struggle with the same problems:
- Media is trapped inside individual subsites
- Teams keep uploading duplicate copies of the same files
- Featured images cannot be reused across the network
- Media discovery becomes slow and disorganized at scale
- Frontend media workflows are fragmented
- Existing gallery plugins do not understand multisite architecture
TBF Big King Media solves those problems with a true network media library for WordPress Multisite.

The Story Behind the Plugin
TBF Big King Media was developed from real-world need while organizing a very large archive of images, videos, and audio documenting the development of AgriGames and the Trott Bailey Family Kingdom project. The plugin has been actively refined over multiple years before entering the WordPress repository.
That long private development cycle is why the public repository version began at a mature release line rather than version 1.0.0.
